Facebook declined on June 11 a push to censor political speech coordinated by the presidential campaign of former vice president Joe Biden.

Biden’s campaign started a public relations offensive on June 11 to pressure Facebook to censor election-related content. The campaign, introduced on Twitter by the former vice president himself, calls on Biden supporters to contact Facebook and demand that the social media take action on a list of demands.
